I felt sick to my stomach and had so many sleepless nights when I started EY. Zero support and took hits from one project to another, I was ready to turn in my resignation 9M in. It started getting better after the 1yr when I got around better supportive ppl. It’ll be okay, I promise- don’t let them get you down.

I bet you have so much to offer and you’re trying. It’s the best you can do in the moment.

Thank you! And I can be yours too

I applaud your prompt recognition of the toxic environment you are marinating in. I tend to be slower on the uptake: it took me over three years to realize I hadn’t yet done anything “right enough “ or “fast enough” (for the company that came after me via a recruiter). And that was not going to change.

Working as CAL Manager with Accenture S&C India. Offered ~GBP 76.5K (fixed plus flexi) at Manager Grade by Deloitte London.

Prior to Accenture, I have already served as S&O Manager with Deloitte India for ~1.5 yrs - so this would be my second stint with Deloitte as Manager "again".

2 questions:
1. Should I ask for Senior Mgr (AD) grade - to which they have already said NO
2. Is GBP 76.5K sitting at the lower end of M grade in Deloitte UK? What should be a good expectation for the role

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
